Hello,
the folllowing thing happened to me :
- at a certain point i couldn't charge my xda anymore, and so the battery went down. no light appeared when connecting to the charger. and i couldn t start the xda anymore off course.
- i read the articles about the fuse which could be hit; and because i couldn't reach the spare fuse for the external battery, i simply soldered a solder bridge in the place of the fuse, as someone mentioned in another topic. i put everything together, but still, totally dead : no lights.
- now i don't know if this xda is totally lost or if i can do something about it. it could also be the charger which is broken. it doesn't get warm when i put it in the 'wall'. how can i check this ?
- if anybody has hints about what to do next or just trow the thing away, you could make my day ! many thanks in advance.

You could try a usb sync charge cable, it maybe the battery has died completely also. Did you test the fuse before bridging the connection? Have you tried using the hard reset button, this is in the hole next to the headphone socket.
- i don't own such a cable, but maybe i can find it somewhere, as the qtek 1010 is not very widely spread in belgium, i could search over the internet instead of a shop.
- i did not test the fuse before removing it and soldering the bridge. which is probably quite stupid of me. the hard reset button didn't do anything and still doesn't.
- the battery could be dead also, but should'nt i see a light flashing when i insert my charger ? so my 'forecast' is that it could be a charger issue.
- maybe i could test it with someone elses charger here in belgium. i live in ghent, so if anyone is from near my place, i am willing tot travel to test your charger. i won't steal it, but then i can buy a new one over the internet. :wink:
if anybody has other testing methods for the charger, please let me know.
a simple question : should the charger get hot when plugged in ? because mine doesn't and i don't know if it ever did.
thanks for your answers ! and hoping to reanimate soon.
The charger would normally feel warm when plugged in.
err my charger's pretty cold actually...
Mine is too now that I checked but it gets warm while charging, my ipaq charger is warm when plugged in and not charging, any idea why this should be.
Can anybody help me with the following ?
i'm quite stuck in the thinking concerning the problem ...
is there anybody in europe who has a tech experience with the qtek 1010/xda and thinks he could arrange the problem i mentionned above ?
or is there anyone who knows such a person, because he had the same problem.
I want to let someone look at it, with, off course, a possible compensation in money. Is there anyone who could tell me how much this more or less could cost ? [because i am a student and use the phone mainly for testing purposes]
Thanks in advance !!! t.
Maybe a friend at college has a simple voltage tester you could use to test the charger output, the charger I have has a removable adaptor at the end of the lead, with this removed you are left with a simple barrel type connector which is very easy to test. If you cannot get a replacement charger and yours is faulty, send me a pm, and I will post one to you.
Anyone in europe who can repair my xda 1 ?
Hello,
i'm still stuck with a broken xda, as described above. Is there anyone in europe who has spare parts of the xda and is willing to repair this item ?
It would be great if anyone could help me. Please let me know what arrangments can be made. I am living in Belgium, Ghent.
thanks in advance.

Hi!
I don't know if this could be helpfull, anyway: If you still think this is a charger-problem, then you could modify your cradle as described in the wiki. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WallabyCradleMod
And another thing as well. I noticed that the main charger is making a loud fuzzing sound when connected to power, so I guess that if your's silent and cold, it might be broken. (Which is not too problematic as it can be easily bought on eBay.)
What power-connectors do you use in Belgium? I have a spare-adapter that I'm not able to use as it does not fit in the Norwegian connectors...
Good luck with the phone!
Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever
I got the Same Problem after plugging in my ipaq 3970 gps reciever, anyone got a clue where to go with this??
iPaq pinouts...
The pin-outs is not the same on the xda and the iPaq, so power in the wrong direction may have damaged the mainboard. And that would be differcult to repair I think!
Hi all
can someone please help me out with this
I think i broke my usb connector,, it doesn't charge when I normally put my mini USB in the connector,, i need to make a construction to make it charge..
it does wiggle a little en it only charge when the mini usb cable is pushed up in the connector..
so i really think it's broken and i've search everywhere for a reparation
but i didn't find any person to make this..

Hello all,
I'm trying to get some extended time connection between my laptop and TG01, but doing so while in Android seems to sometimes overcharge and overheat the battery. So I'm looking into some sort of hack to allow connection of the above but the battery to be left out of the TG01...
something similar to:
http://shaddack.twibright.com/projects/hw_nokiabat/
Can anybody help me with this? Right now if I'm shutting down TG01 and remove battery, it won't start although it could because it's connected via USB cable to the running laptop.
Thank you,
Nini.
Later edit:
Or some other idea that might work, if I could connect TG01 with laptop via a hacked USB cable that doesn't allow charging...
C'mon, nobody can play with some resistances and see if tg01 can be fooled in thinking that battery is present? I guess that, following the link above, one hardware engineer might easily figure out what resistance(s) to hook and where... please
Somehow the micro usb port on the phone (the charger) has been mashed up inside, i think it may have been due to someone trying to fit the wrong charger into it.
a shop said it'd have to get sent away,
i was wondering if their is a place to send it to get fixed or it it fixable ?
atm im having to charge another battery with a docking station and swap battery's because it wont charge,
it did work a little earlier on today, charging. but i can see the insides are pretty well destroyed.
it looks like the piece can be removed and a new one soldered on,
any ideas ?
thanks.
Honestly, if somone on here knows how to fix hardware issues I am sure they can lend you a hand but otherwise you will have to go to a repair shop and have it serviced. Just make sure that everything is complete stock and bootloader is in locked state just to be safe. If you don't want to send it back through the mail you can always take to a sprint authorized repair shop.
If you want to attempt it yourself here you go

Thanks guys, ive been looking online and some places seem to say they can fix it,
that video is just jokes, he faffs around with the thing im sure he ha no idea what hes doing.
ive found usb ports for other htc models just not the evo 3d.
ive realised it is quite a common problem
its charging via my docking station... just. obviously the internals of the micro usb are mashed up, and i know the replacement needs to be soldered on,
ive looked on some websites but cannot find anywhere to fix it.
its ok atm as its charging via dock, and i have a spare battery, also i can just take out my sd card to add stuff but it i rather annoying abd id like it fixed asap.
You could always use WiFi file explorer,of course WiFi is required but you can read and write the sdcard from your ip address,
Signature (Don't ask me for help, couldn't careless if your phone explodes)
strange thing is its connecting via my dock.. and charging, eventho the insides of the micro usb are mashed up..
it wont work with any other cable just in the dock...
im guessing the dock pin is slightly larger thus allowing a connection ?
First off, let me start by saying that I am fairly new to XDA, and sincerely hope this is an appropriate place to post this threat, and apologize if it is not.. I did read the read-me and don't think I'm abusing any rules.. Anyway..
I have multiple Android tablets permanently affixed around my house, which are integrated with my home automation system, and control a wide range of functions such as the lights.. These tablets are constantly hooked up to a charger, and are intended to be powered on during most hours of the day... An example of one can be seen in the attached picture labeled "A".. A standard USB power cable is run through the wall, and comes out in a hole next to the tablet, and hidden underneath the white cap that can be seen in the picture.. What I am trying to do is get rid of that cap, and the little nub it creates..
My idea was to find some sort of super low profile usb charging cable that can be run underneath the tablet and then into the wall where it cannot be seen. The closest thing I have managed to find to such a thing is this type of QI Wireless reciever, which I attached a picture of, labeled "B". Obviously instead of a QI charging coil at the other end, I would want some type of connection that can be connected to a wall charger though... The closest thing to this I have managed to find, is a right angle USB adapter I found on amazon, which I also attached a picture of, labeled "C".. This is much bulkier than what you see in picture B however, and cannot be bent to a near-180* angle, and run underneath the tablet.
Does anyone have any ideas or alternative suggestions as to how I might power these tablets without that little nub for the USB cable being there? I even tried putting a QI charger behind the tablet inside the wall, and using QI to charge them permanently, but that didn't deliver enough power.
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. Unfortunately this isn't really what XDA Assist is about, our purpose is to point people who don't know where to post in the right direction. The best thing we can do is have your thread moved to the general Android q&a section here:
Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
Please standby while we have your thread moved.
In the meantime if you find the specific device forum for the tablets, within the device forum there's usually an accessories sub-forum which might be worth looking at. If you can tell me exactly which tablet you're talking about I can probably direct you to the right place.
